"Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Now for a recompence in the same,.... That your love to me may answer mine to you; that as you have my heart, I may have yours, and the same
room in your heart, as you have in mine. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "having the same recompence"; and the Arabic version renders it, "grant to me the same recompence"; and the Syriac version, "recompense to me my usuries that are with you"; that is, repay me with affection, let love be returned for love. I speak as unto my children; which relation subsisting between us requires mutual affection; for as a father should love his children, so children should love their father: be ye also enlarged; in your love to me, as I am to you; and then, as if he should say, you will bear with, and take in good part the following exhortation and advice.
